FDNY Conducts Counter-Terrorism Drill

The New York Fire Department and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority joined Sunday for a major counter-terrorism drill in Queens.

They gathered early Sunday morning at Jamaica station for the exercise, which consisted of a simulated bombing onboard a Long Island Rail Road train, NewsChannel 4 reported.

About 150 New York firefighters and medical staff tended to the mock causalities, while 50 MTA officers had their hands full dealing with a simulated explosive device.

Last week, MTA officials announced plans to add police patrols onboard Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North trains, according to NewsChannel 4.
